CALiFORNIa,S ENTIIHE

AS 1of tne 1uCure OF CALIFORNIA,
don't believe the most sanguine man
has yet dared picture its splendor.
Bear in mind, / still insist that all this
Los Angeles country is too absurdIy
high-priced SO far as land is concerned; ;
for you can get homes in Arizona or in
Southern California at about one-fif-
teenth the figure, but in the course Of
time every foot of ground from the
Sierras to the sea will be held as high
as is the land in and about Los Angeles
and San Diego. This is to be the
Palestine, the land of milk and honey,
the holy land. AS surely as the sun
rises the people will drift and crowd
and back up against this great seq,
where they can go no further, till Cali
fornia is as full as ever was populous
Palestine when her armies were num-
bered by hundreds of thousands. For
all the fruits, all the fine things to eat,
or to wear, or to look upon that Jerusa-
lem or Damascus knew, are in Los
Angeles and San Diego.
Oranges in Jerusalem? No. The
orange is q contribution from China,
much as the ignorant "hoodlumsn may
be surprised or displeased to hear it.
The orange was first brought by Portu-
guese merchants from China and
planted in Portugal. 1t spread from
there to Spain and Italy, where it is
still known by the name of Portugalo.
Yon rarely hear an orange called by
any other name than Portugalo either
in Spain or Italy, and even among our
selves there is newer importation of
this family from China called the Man
DARN. -Joaqati1, Miller.
Il REMEDY For DIPHTHERI4 AND
CROUP.
In report to the French Academy
of Medicine, DR.. Dietholl stated that
the vapor of liquid tar and turpentine
would dissolve the tibrinous tissues
which choke up the throat in Group and
diphtheria. He described the process
of treatment as follows:
Take tablespoonful each of turpen-
tine and liquid tar; put them into tin
pan OF cup, and set fire to the mixture,
taking care to have larger pan under
it as safeguard against the spread of
the flames. A dense, resinous smoke
arises, making the room dark. The pa
tient Immediately seems to experience
relief; the choking and rattle stop; the
patient falls into slumber and seems
to inhale the smoke with pleasure.
The fibrinous membrane soon becomes
detached, and the patient coughs up
microbes, which, when caught in o
glass, may be seen to dissolve in the
smoke. In the course of three days
the patient entirely RECEIVERS. This
remedy has proved successful in many
instances, and householders every
| where should bear it in mind. A promi-
nent gentleman in Charlestown, who
applied the treatment to his child, after
the sufferer was given over us incurable
by his family physician, suggests that
before burning the ingredients named,
all such articles as would be likely to
be injured by the thick smoke should
be removed or covered up closely.

Several years ago on one of our
northern bays, when, as yet, steamers
were infrequent visitors, a certain small
boat used to ply, touching at various
points, according as its freight or the
weather demanded.
The crew was somewhat limited, con-
sisting of the captain, the first mate,
whose name was Bamabas, and the
cook, John, who, When stress of work
required, also acted as second mate.
John was an excellent cook and n
fairly good sailor, bus he was afflicted
with an impediment in his speech which
made him somewhat backward in ex-
pressing himself and was especially an
moving, if, for any reason, he became
excited. AT such times the more he
wanted to say something the less he
was able to say it. Fortunately, how
ever, he could sing MS straight as any
ono.
One day the Captain was below tax
ing nap, while Barnabas and John
were running the boat. A sudden squall
happened to come up, and a puff OF
wind brought the boom around with
such unexpected violence as to knock
the unwary Barnabas overheard. There
upon John rushed into the cabin in the
widest excitement to inform the Cap
tain of what had occurred, but, as usual,
he was unable to get out coherent
sentence.
"B-b-b-b-" he suffered, until
the Captain, in a rage, shouted:
"Thnnderation! man, sing it, if you
can't say it, !" and John, catching at the
happy suggestion, sang:
"overboard is Bnrnabas,
Half mile astern OF u.s."
The boat was Immediately put about
ond the luckless Barnabas recovered. -

RETURN oFLosr KEYS.
Registered check System of the
Portland Daily Press.

Many robberies can unquestionably be
traced to the fact of parties having their
name and address on their key rings. For
the benefit of our readers and the general
public we have inaugurated a system of
registered checks for the purpose of facilita-
ting the prompt return of lost keys and pro-
tecting their owners from loss and incon-
yenience. This plan practically insures the
return of those lost under any ordinary cir
cumstances. We furnish small and neat
German silver checker tag bearing the name
of the Portland Daily PRESS and an offer of
one dollar reward for the return of the keys
to our office. Each check bears different
number and each one sold is registered at
this Office in special book kept for that
purpose. The check will never wear out
and never needs renewing, no matter how
often the owner changes his residence OF
place of business. BY this system keys lost
can be of no use to dishonest persons as no
one can procure the owners address; and
they will undoubtedly be returned to this
Office and the owner promptly notified by
mail or messenger. We furnish these checks
at the nominal rate of % cents each and
make no charge for original registry, sub
sequent changes Of address or for our SER
vices for the return of keys in ease Of loss
This is new departure in newspaper enter
prise and is not undertaken as means Of
profit but as public convenience. Already
number of our business and professional
men have availed themselves of the device.
A postal card addressed to key Check
System" Daily PRESS office will receive
prompt attention.
In case of change of address or loss of
keys the office should be notified.

Boats for sowdoIn oar.men.

The crews of the Freshmen and Sophie
mores of Bowdoin College will row this year
in practically new boats, which have been
furnished by M. +. Davis of this city. or the
old boats which Mr.. Davis took to rebuild
nothing remains but the mere shells, new
frames, seats, rigging and finish having been
added to them. The Bowdoin boys have a
high reputation as oarsmen, but few people
know how much has been done in the con-
struction of their boats to enable the rowers
to use their skill and muscle to the best adj
vantage. The new boats are as great an i'm
provement on the old style four cared shells
as the steamship Of today is over the steam
er of 20 years ago.
Formerly crew shells after being used
proved unable to stand the strain upon them
and at the points where the outriggers of
the bow and stroke oars are attached to the
gunwales, the boats were forced out of line
so that they at length came to be something
of the shape of a corkscrew. By Mr.. DAY.
ISIS system Of construction, the strain is re-
moved from the boat by making the strain
upon the outriggers on one side counterbal-
ance the strain upon the outriggers of the
other. This is brought about by so uniting
the longitudinal parts of the frame of a
boat that the strain is equally distributed
over the whole craft. This new way of
building racing shells has been used for some
time in singles, but now that it has been en-
ployed in crew boats, it is found that the
gain in strength is relatively greater in the
latter class of boats than in the singles.
The new Bowdoin boats are fitted with
the roller seats, rowing shoes, and in fact
nearly all of the 200 improvements which
Mr.. Davis has made on such boats. They
are handsome pieces of workmanship, with
highly polished woodwork and nickel plated
metal parts. Bowdoin probably has the
best and most scientifically built rowing
boats of any college in the country.
Mr.. Davis is also building two four cared
shells for Minnesota parties and one for
Louisiana.
